And to follow up, we removed our sway bar....completely :) Sitting on the picnic table right now. Will likely put back in, since our OBX is a daily driver, but definitely will keep it disconnected/removed for our summers in the San Juans :)
Made a vast improvement in so many areas. No wonder I...
I first did Black Bear in 2007, and it was FAR narrower then. Drivers side tires just off the wall, passenger side scrubbing rocks to the switch back below. We've been out here every year for the past 12+, and have been the first car down a few times (snow 6' above the roofline!). My wife has...
We've done the Wall quite a few times, my wife crawled in with her old GX470 on 33's, just the ATRAC system. Lots of variables tho.
We ran Poughkeepsie in our OBX a week or so ago. Did need the locker in a couple short stretches. Might run it once more more this trip :)
I did, and the kid who won the final 3" hose challenge chatted with us in camp later....18yo, and his 3rd year competing :)
Out here for 6 weeks this summer, great having time to explore.
We ran Black Bear yesterday. Minimal traffic, which was nice. I've now run it with 5 different rigs :)
Been spending part of our summers here for the past 12+ years, but this was our first time for the 4th. Awesome celebration!
The incident is towards the end of The Fallen, just a couple obstacles prior to the Drill Grounds (I helped break the trail a few years back). The climb at 1:35 over Casey's left shoulder is likely where they rolled off...the breakover is sharp, and the left side of that climb is relatively...
In many cases, blown airbags = totalled. Cost comes into play too. Looks like most of the sheetmetal is damaged.
I agree on the spotter, sadly most of them aren't any more skilled than the drivers. I cannot count the number of times I've witnessed disasters WITH a spotter. I gave up on using a...
We head to Ouray tomorrow for 3 weeks, believe this is the 12th year in a row. Love visiting that area in July :)
No Bronco yet, but will be putting a few more miles on the FZJ80 this year.
2023 OBX ordered to replace my wife's 2017 Lexus GX460....but here are some of the others:

2021 JHF Trail...
